Imper-Sol™ Acrylic Elastomeric Roof Coating - 5 Gallon Pail

About this product

IMPER-SOL™ is a white, non-toxic, fire retardant roof coating formulated from water-based, pure acrylic, self-curing latex polymers. IMPER-SOL™, an elastomeric coating, also contains unique "bleed-blocking" polymers that make it very suitable for use over asphaltic surfaces. It is designed for application by brush, roller or spray. Once cured, IMPER-SOL™ preserves asphaltic or modified bitumen surfaces and reduces under roof temperatures to create a more pleasant interior work environment that is less costly to maintain. It is an approved product under CRRC®, and meets Title 24 requirements. Advantages: It contains substantial levels of UV-blocking pigments that keep solar heat out of the building envelope. A cool IMPER-SOL™ surface reflects the sun's ultraviolet rays, slows down roof aging, and extends the useful life of a roofing system. Fire Retardant - It contains a unique blend of ingredients that produce a superior, flame-retardant surface. Refer to UL and FM publications in order to determine how IMPER-SOL™ should be used with a specific roof system or assembly. IMPER-SOL™ contains no asbestos. Reduces Roof Degradation - Solar heat accelerates roof system degradation. In addition, roofing materials contract and expand daily as they heat up during the day and cool at night. A roof coated with IMPER-SOL™ does not experience such large temperature fluctuations; therefore, the roofing system undergoes less fatigue. Its white, flexible finish reflects the sun's ultraviolet rays and reduces their damaging effects. Energy Savings - Typical dark colored Built-Up Roofs can absorb over 70% of the solar energy that reaches them, creating temperatures over 180°F (82.2°C). Studies confirm that It can reduce roof temperatures by 50° to 80°F (10° to 26.7°C) and save significant amounts of cooling energy during the summer months. Environmentally Friendly - It eliminates flammability and toxicity hazards associated with solvent based coatings. There are no irritating or unpleasant odors with IMPER-SOL™. Reduces Roof Life-Cycle Costs - Over time, heat and UV light degrade the chemical structure of a roofing membrane, which then causes chalking, cracking, shrinking, loss of flexibility, and surface erosion. High-quality acrylic polymers give IMPER-SOL™ added strength, flexibility, adhesion, and color-retention to aged roofing systems. Applications: The existing roof surface must be sound and free of defects such as blisters, splits, fishmouths, etc. All defects must be repaired with a suitable patching material. All fresh applications of mastics, coatings or asphalt adhesives require a minimum of 30 days to cure prior to application of IMPER-SOLTM. Loose materials, standing water, debris, oil, and other contaminants may prevent full adhesion of the coating and must be removed. IMPERSOLTM is designed for application by brush, roller or spray. The coating is ready for immediate use; however, it should be stirred, not thinned, prior to application.
